Hi my name is Clara Weinmann. My final year project is based on my two weeks isolation when my housemate had Covid19, and my collection will be festival clothing. I am mainly focusing on the different emotions I felt and the different objects that I saw on my daily walks to the beach. I want to incorporate the madness that was experienced over the two weeks into my final collection. I want to focus on the contrasts between the different emotions, colours and textures that I felt and saw each day. I am going to use preloved denim jeans for my final collection I will be cutting them into thin strips which will be sewn together and then knitted. I will also be using florescent orange lycra material that was inspired by the bright coloured cones at the covid testing centre and white cotton sateen. I will also be doing hand and machine embroidery, adding embellishments and disperse dying.
